Hatyai Shopping spree

On our way back,we have our lunch at a roadside stall.We have Thai style Koo Lok Mee.It taste just like one in malaysia.Not much difference.This uncle is bullying the kid until he cried for his mother,LOL
This is where the troop leader wife and the ladies troop start showing who is the boss.Thai rice is one the best in the world,no doubt about that,and the ladies groups certainly show no mercy in loading them into their cars.Normally an average tourist can only buy 1 pack of rice,but the troop leader has bribe the custom,so we bought as many as we liked.My family bought 50kg of rice,LOL

Thai style Koo Lok Mee



Chinese Herb Shop in Hatyai market.They sell a variety of stuff,and things sold here are really cheap partly due to the influence of troop leader.He has been in this kind of trip for 10 years plus,LOL


This is known as pick-up...the most common car transport in Thailand.Beside carrying loof at the back,some can even transport people under the hot sun.swt.Thai goverment are quite lenient with this as some of the pick up are overloaded.


This is the stall where i bought my T shirt,again due the fact that the troop leader know them,i no need to bargain with them,as the price they gave me is among the cheapeast in town. All i need to do is point out which one i want and they will pack it for me.Anyone wish to buy nice T shirt or shorts can go to them.They are really nice people.Here is the trick,normally the seller will give you a high price,then you will start bargain with them.No matter how good you are,there is always a limit.Things are different here as we know them,they will give you the cheapest price available without any bargain.Again,you have to know them or else they will chop you just.Victims are always those singaporean,LOL..serve them right i guess,but their currency is higher=.=

This is a tuk tuk,the most common taxi form in thailand.This is a mini van version.There is another type which is a pick up version.A Tuk Tuk can fit 8 person.The ride around Hatyai town is around 20 bath per person.Motorbike is 30 bath.


This is pasar,market of hatyai.You can get almost everything ranging from cooking utensil to clothing here.And the price are normally cheaper than in malaysia.The problem arise when you wan to get it back to malaysia as the custom and the rasuah king will always haunt and burden you with bribe aka duit kopi.Well,it's not a problem for us,haha...

We have our dinner at this restaurant runned by chinese thais.The troop leader treat us,LOL

When you go hatyai,you must not miss the chance to try this roasted pork legs.They are really delicious.Sorry for my malay friends though..
